Our 6th Annual Camel Races will be held on a date to be announced. Wooden Camels, limited to the first 24 Camels, sponsored by individuals and businesses, dressed very creatively, are raced against one another determined by the roll of numbered cubes. Proceeds from our first year's races went to the Boys and Girls Club, Bay City, for the purchase of gym bleachers. Our 2nd year's proceeds went to the Riverview Discovery Island Project, a children's Playscape that was built here in Bay City. Our third year's proceeds went to help fund "River Jordan, Inc.", a Youth Transitional Home for teens in Bay County. This year's races will be held on November 3, 2023 at the Kawkawlin Township Hall, 1836 East Parish Road, Kawkawlin, Mi. In our 5th year we used the net proceeds to fund the many programs that the Bay City Noon Optimist Club supports for the youth in our communities, along with presenting a check for $7,000 to the Santa House of Bay City. The net proceeds of our 6th Annual Camel Race once again went to fund the many programs of the Bay City Noon Optimist Club, and once again presented the Santa House of Bay City with a check for $5,000. This event is licensed under Michigan State Lottery laws. More information on our 7th Annual Camel Race, as well as a list of its sponsors, will be available here as we get closer to the races.
